BARRYVILLE — A Middletown man died Saturday after police said his motorcycle collided with two vehicles on Route 97.

Sullivan County Undersheriff Eric Chaboty said William Cushing, 28, was heading north at 12:22 p.m. on a 2011 Honda motorcycle past the Brook Road bridge when he struck a Chrysler minivan in the northbound lane.

Cushing bounced off the minivan, Chaboty said, and then struck a Jeep Liberty in the southbound lane.

Cushing was flown to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla with multiple injuries; he died at the hospital, Chaboty said.

No one else was injured in the accident, Chaboty said, nor were any tickets issued.
